Leighton, How Can We Get Your Rockin' Makeup?

You’re not the only one who wants to look like Natalie Portman, Leighton Meester wants to, too!

Leighton Meester brought some serious drama to her makeup at the KIIS-FM Jingle Ball in LA on Dec. 5 where she performed. “She wants to look a bit more extreme for her performances than she normally does,” says makeup artist Dean Bryant, who created this winged-out smokey look for Leighton. “We were inspired by Natalie Portman’s shoot for V magazine but we didn’t go as drastic. We wanted to suit her eye shape,” Dean says. To get her look, use a dark brown shadow in the crease and outer corner of the eyes. “Brown softens it and makes it not too crazy like black,” Dean says. Then, “take a blending brush and blend it going out towards the outer end of the eyebrow but don’t go out further than the eyebrow!” To make the eyes really pop, use a black pencil along the top and bottom lash lines. To finish off the look, Dean curled Leighton’s lashes, popped on a set of false lashes and coated them with mascara. – Marta Topran
